âYouâre so lucky. The customer bought many slaves,â the manager said enviously.
âOf course. The guest is a descendant of a baron,â the manager who attended to Wang Teng said.
âA baronâs descendant!â The others were shocked and started discussing among themselves.
âI didnât know that a baronâs descendant was so wealthy. This is the first one I have seen after so many years.â
âYes, most of the nobles who came to buy slaves were poor. They werenât as generous as this young man.â
âI wonder whose descendant is he?â
âLook at this address. Huh? Itâs Baron Nangong. He has no descendants. Heâs the new baron!â
âItâs him!â
âŚ
Wang Teng didnât know that the people in the slave market were talking about him and had guessed his identity. Well, even if he knew, he wouldnât mind.
Since he was a baron of the Great Qian Empire, he couldnât prevent such things from happening. There werenât many people in Great Qian City who didnât know him.
By the time he reached the Nangong Residence, the slaves had already arrived. He had to admit that the slave market was very efficient. He couldnât find any fault in their service.
âMister, your slaves are here. Please verify them.â The person in charge of transporting the slaves walked over.
A martial warrior had a powerful memory. Wang Teng only needed to take one look to tally all the slaves.
The person in charge of transporting the slaves completed the handover and left.
The slaves sized up their future home. The majority of them seemed surprised and curious. They werenât nervous.
Only the ten floral fairies appeared a little agitated as if they hadnât gotten used to their slave identity. They were probably captured illegally.
However, Wang Teng didnât care. Since he had bought them, they were his slaves. There was no problem with the procedure. No one could find any loopholes in it.
Would the Floral Fairy Race come to find him?
Wang Teng wasnât worried. The Floral Fairy Race might be special, but they werenât powerful. It wouldnât be a threat to him.

In the garden.
Wang Teng took a chair and sat in front of the slaves. He glanced at them, nodding in satisfaction.
Not bad!
Wang Teng observed his slaves. Some had powerful auras while others were young and beautiful. It was worth the price.
The slaves were split into two groups.
One group consisted of all the celestial-stage martial warriors and above. Wang Teng intended to use them as guards.
The other was the female slaves. All of them were beautiful and charming, and they came from different races. The scene was a feast for the eye.
Wang Tengâs gaze landed on one of them.
This was a pretty woman around 30 years old with a good figure and a refined and gentle aura. She was the butler Wang Teng chose.
âMaster.â The woman stepped out and smiled as she bowed.
âWhatâs your name?â
âMaster, my name is Annie.â
âOkay, I just moved into this residence. Youâll be the butler from now on. Iâll transfer a sum of money to you. See what we lack and buy them. Arrange what you feel needs to be done. You will be in charge of these female servants,â Wang Teng said casually.
Annie was stunned. She felt that her master was throwing all the work at her so that he wouldnât need to do anything.
âYes!â However, she maintained her professionalism and bowed as she accepted the order. Her attitude was respectful.
âIâll get a wristwatch and a new bank card for you to use,â Wang Teng said.
âYes, Master.â
âIâm hosting a banquet for all the nobles in Great Qian City. Youâre in charge of it.â
âA banquet for the nobles!â Annie was shocked.
What status did her master have? Why did he need to hold a banquet for the nobles in the city?
âI need it organized to the highest standard. Donât ruin our reputation,â Wang Teng looked at her intently and continued.
âYes, Master!â Annie replied hurriedly, feeling a little nervous.
Wang Teng looked at the other side and asked the female divine spirit master, âWhatâs your name?â
âBertha!â the divine spirit master replied coldly.
âWhat about you?â Wang Teng turned to look at the shadow assassin.
âHardy!â A hoarse voice appeared behind the black cape after a few seconds.
Wang Teng shook his head. He felt that it wouldnât be easy to order these two slaves around.
His expression turned stern as he said, âI donât care what your identity was in the past. Youâre my slave now. I hope you can accept this fact. Iâm too lazy to care about your thoughts. Follow my orders. If anyone dares to overtly agree but covertly oppose, I wonât show any mercy. I can treat you like a dog. I donât care if a dog dies. I have enough money to buy a few more cosmos-stage martial warriors.â
Berthaâs face turned pale. Humiliation flashed in her eyes.
Hardyâs face was covered by the black cape, so the others could only see a cape floating in the air. They couldnât see his expression, but the faint fluctuation of his Force betrayed his uneasy state of mind.
Annie and the other servants thought that Wang Teng was an easygoing master. Seeing his fierce side, they started shivering in fear and quickly lowered their heads and back, afraid that they would offend him.
âOf course, if Iâm satisfied by your performance, after I reach the heaven stage, I donât mind removing your biochip and making yâall my followers,â Wang Teng added.
âReally?â Bertha raised her head and asked with an intense gaze.
Hardy stared at Wang Teng too. It was easy to see his excitement through his gaze.
âBertha, Iâll leave these people to you. I want a well-trained team.â Wang Teng didnât reply to their questions. He turned and left directly after giving his order.
Bertha and Hardy stood with complex expressions. They didnât know if Wang Teng was speaking the truth.
Also, they would only have a chance to become a follower after their master reached the heaven stage.
The heaven stage wasnât that easy.
As cosmos-stage martial warriors, they naturally understood how difficult it was to break through to the heaven stage.
Their master was only at the planetary stage, a huge distance away from the heaven stage. Who knew how long it would take him to get to the heaven stage?
Whether he could reach that level was a problem too.
But they had no choice. They knew that this was their destiny, so it was good to have some hope.
Bertha sighed softly and turned around. She started organizing the celestial-stage slaves according to Wang Tengâs instructions.
With this bunch of slaves, the baron residence started operating like a huge machine.
Annie was indeed a butler-style slave. She had undergone professional training, so she managed to put all stuff in order and organized everything properly.

After settling An Lanâs lodging, Wang Teng went to the study room.
Round Ball appeared and observed the surroundings with a complicated expression. âIâm finally back here after so many years.â
Wang Teng watched it quietly. He didnât disturb it.
After some time, Round Ball floated in front of a bookcase and started rearranging the order of the books in a certain manner.
Boom!
A crack appeared in the ground, revealing a path leading down.
Wang Teng was amazed.
âLetâs go!â Round Ball led the way.
After some time, they arrived at the end of the stone staircase. Wang Teng realized that there was an underground space the size of a normal room below. A huge metal door stood in their way.
âIgnite your legacy mark and open the Nangong Familyâs vault,â Round Ball said.
âThis is the Nangong Familyâs treasure vault?â
âYes, this is what Cao Hongtu wanted.â
âIâm curious to see what good things there are inside.â Wang Teng smiled. He activated the legacy mark Nangong left behind.
